One very useful multimedia aspect is Adobe Flash. Since its
introduction to the online world it gained territory with each new web site. Today
there are few websites without Flash, even if they do not have flash animations
integrated in their website Flash is present in advertising, game creation etc.

Adobe reported to have been working on porting Flash to the
iPhone. Company officials said they have a version of Flash working on an
iPhone emulator and that they are working to incorporate this feature in a real
iPhone.

But for Adobe to succeed they need help from Apple to incorporate
Flash to the Safari web browser. Apple doesn’t really want Flash on their
iPhones, instead they prefer an open-standards Javascript application made in collaboration
with SproutCore.

Apple may not have any way to avoid Flash since many
customers probably want a full mobile web browsing experience and not get stuck
in sites with many flash animations. In addition other phones can read Flash
and here comes the competition.
